ABENFORMAT_STYLE_HINTS - FORMAT STYLE HINTS

Notes

• The formats mainly correspond to the output formats specified when a DDIC domain is created with one of the types DF16_DEC, DF16_RAW, DF16_SCL (obsolete), DF34_DEC, DF34_RAW, or DF34_SCL (obsolete) in ABAP Dictionary.

• When a decimal floating point number defined in the ABAP Dictionary is formatted, the formatting option STYLE overrides the output format defined in the ABAP Dictionary.

• It is best to use the formatting option STYLE for the formatting of all numeric output. This addition then replaces all other additions whose output format can be specified using stl.

• To specify the scaling of a decimal floating point number before the use of the format O_SCALE_PRESERVING_SCIENTIFIC, the built-in function rescale can be called by specifying the parameter dec.

• The methods CONVERT_CURR_TO_DECFLOAT and CONVERT_DECFLOAT_TO_CURR of the system class CL_ABAP_DECFLOAT are helpful when representing currency amounts stored as decimal floating point numbers. These methods convert currency amounts to decimal floating point numbers depending on a currency key and vice versa.

• The format O_SCALE_PRESERVING_SCIENTIFIC is intended to help create output that is aligned vertically with reference to the decimal separator and exponent without the addition DECIMALS. To achieve this, the built-in function rescale can be called before output by specifying the parameter prec.
